Kin TwoM- why are long messages split up?

I just got the Kin TwoM, and I noticed that my longer texts are being sent as many separate texts...much like it used to be when an AT&T user would text you a long message. Is there some sort of setting or way around this? Last thing I need is irritating people by being THAT GUY who sends messages like that.

My phone is only a couple of days old so I've been reading the manual and it states:
Type message to open the text box and type your message. You can type up to 800 characters.
My messages are also being split up when I know I am not doing a hard return and have nowhere near 800 characters. I'm not sure what's going on here but I'd also like an answer. I just checked the manual and it clearly states an 800 character allowance. I wonder if it has something to do with the limitations of the receivers device? Too bad I can't forward one of "those" broken messages to myself to see. There is also no copy paste option that I can find so I can paste one in a new message to myself. Any clues?
I know I've sent messages to a Droid 2 with a 160 character limit so maybe it's not our device at all it just fragments it into the correct character limit for the receiver?

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

Why are my messages getting deleted?

My older text messages from one contact keep getting deleted. How do I stop this and why is it happening?
I know for a fact there are many messages before where the conversation appears to begin on my phone.

Why are my messages going to my old phone?

i got a new phone tye other day, but my text from iphone users are still showingg up on my old iphone (4). so, at this moment i have:
1. cleared data and cache o the new phone.
2.changed my apple id password
3.erased old pbone to factory settings.
help.please.

Are the messages that are going to the old phone being sent to the Apple ID possibly? On the new phone, when you go into Settings>Messages, is iMessage activated? If so, and you go to Send & Receive, is the phone number gray and checked? If it is, is there a checkmark by anything else? What about the settings on the other device? Why do you have the other device on? Is it being used like an iPod?

Why are my messages green with my iPhone and my husbands

My husband and I both updated our iphone 4 and the messages between us went to blue for a few days and now they are green again. His phone is listed as an iphone in my contacts, I don't get why it is green again. Other people with iphones are blue.
Thanks for any help.

They're green because they're being sent as SMS.
As far as why you can't enter your apple password to activate, where specifically are you trying to do this and what happens when you try/

Why are some messages pushing to mac and not phone?

I am very frustrated, as, I have had occational times where a text bypasses my phone and goes to my macbook. My wife will use the laptop frequently and it happens sometimes when she is on the computer.   It will somtimes send a text the computer even if somone is not using it, though. How do I get the system to send the message to both devices, or, to simply stop all texts from going to the computer? thx

Log out of iMessage on your Mac, and the messages will be forced to only go to your phone.   If your phone has no signal at time the message was sent to you, that could explain why Mac is getting but not your phone.
I'd first try to logout of iMessage on both devices, then reactivate first on your phone, then your Mac.   See if problem fixes itself.

Why are unread messages changing to appear as if read

Just upgraded our PC and the emails now seem to be marking themselves as read when they have not been opened yet. Sometimes I have opened one and then marked it as unread, but then it changes back later to unbold. How can I fix this?

Why are my messages getting sent to two different phone numbers?

My mom and I use the same Apple account for our iPhones and when we updated our phones for iOS 6, all of the text messages that I've been receiving have been sent to her iPhone as well.

Tjmoo, did you find out the answer to your question? If so, will you share? I am having an issue where some of my messages to iPhone users go through as iMessages while others go through as text messages. I am not sure why this is because the people I am sending them to have iPhones.
Thanks!

Why are some messages marked as duplicates in Mail?

I added my Yahoo! account to Mail but there is a problem with the Sent mailbox. Some messages (as many as 22 at a time) are being marked as duplicates of each other even though they have absolutely nothing in common (other than the sender). I've already tried rebuilding the mailbox; but it produces the exact same result. Any ideas?

I was going through my iPod cover flow and noticed the same thing. THEN I saw that one album was listed as "Steers And Stripes", another was "Steers and Stripes" and yet another was "Steers & Stripes".
So - check how they are labeled in the iPod. I went back to my iTunes library and there is only one version of that album in the computer. Haven't figured out how to bring it to ONE on the iPod, though.
Work carefully through each of the sections of my article at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp - the solution will be there.

Why are my message attachments now represented by question marks? They appear in the conversations and details like this on my iPad but are there on my iPhone.

Since running the battery right down on my iPad, software up to date, my message attachments appear as question marks in both the conversations and details. They are still there on my phone. How can I fix this please? I've reset networks. Turned messaging off and back on. Turned the iPad off and back on.

The jpegs I am sending are 5x7 at 300 dpi and on the order of 1 Mb when I send them based on the jpeg quality.

Why are SPAM messages showing hits=negative numbers and getting through?

Message headers in known SPAM are reporting NEGATIVE numbers!
How do I figure out what rule is pushing them into the negative?
No wonder SPAMASSASSIN isn't catching much.
===========================================
Here are headers of two SPAM messages:
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-4.102 tagged_above=-999 required=3
tests=ALL_TRUSTED,
AWL, BAYES_00, HTML90100, HTMLIMAGE_RATIO06, HTML_MESSAGE
X-Spam-Level:

BAYES_00, HTML90100, HTMLBADTAG_0010, HTMLIMAGE_RATIO02,
HTML_MESSAGE,
HTMLTAG_EXISTTBODY

Does that mean that one or more of the tests shown above has to be the culprit?
Thanks,

This is the test you do not want to trigger for external mail: ALL_TRUSTED
Chances are you are using NAT. For a solution see here:
